Next Manager Watch

[freeeki]

In the time it’s taken Daniel Levy to delegate control of a closed-doors friendly against Ipswich to Ryan Mason, Bayern have found out we’re potentially interested in Thomas Tuchel, sacked Julian Nagelsmann, and replaced him with Thomas Tuchel.

Sounds about right.

 

[Cochise]

Nagelsmann treads that line between being young and progressive enough to appease those that want a fresh rebuild without being completely untested in a top league.

When we were linked a few years back I watched a lot of his Leipzig side and they were very entertaining. Whether in a back 3 or a back 4 they always had a defined way of playing and you could argue he had them punching above their weight, which is exactly what we need from a coach.

True but he’s kind of right though, he won with utd so did berbatov, we’ve never really pushed on enough, sadly

Agree though I hate him trying to always talk our players to Utd

The thing that gets my goat though is United now are a far different animal to the United he and berbatov joined. The gap is far far smaller and indeed in recent years it has been in our favour. He still persists to talk them up over us on any given occasion, but I bet he’d take any offer to be a ‘spurs’ representative or indeed happy to own the spurs legend accolade. To me club legends transcend performances and records, it’s about commitment love and affinity. I loved watching teddy at spurs. But he’s not SPURS.

Does Nagelsmann play good stuff? That’s all I really give a shit about tbh. We’re nowhere near competing with Arsenal, City, Chelsea (watch this space next season) or Liverpool long term. I just wanna look forward to watching us play again

What are the red flags for Gallardo and De Zerbi?

I like them both a lot but:

Gallardo - Never managed outside of South America. Plays pretty defensive.

De Zerbi - can you make a real decision on him when it’s only been 6 months at Brighton and it came in a set up I worry will make any manager they bring in look good.

Just feels like AVB all over again to me.

Just feels like AVB all over again to me.

In what way?

 

[ralphs bald spot]

Quite mad tbh, nobodies moved the odds like that for a while and we’ve had no links whatsoever.

managers markets are notoriously small markets - doesn't take much money (in relative terms) for big swings

I suspect Nagelsmann will wait until the summer, anyone would really. Take the break.

Ill ask a question - Poch now or perhaps wait for a chance at Nagelsmann in the summer? but then you run the risk of Nagelsmann getting a better offer and after that, you def aint going to get Poch, no way will he accept being the back up option. Then again maybe Poch is also doing it with us for the Real job. T

Poch will def go to Madrid, the only possible alternative for that job was Tuchel. I don’t see that being remotely likely. Also I agree, Nagelsmann will very likely wait.

Personally I think this plays out with Mason taking over until summer and us hoping Chelsea don’t get rid of Potter (which I think they will if Nagelsmann is available unless things click for Potter) ether that or we go for Enrique.

 

[Spunkmonkey]

In what way?

Young and hunky

Is there anyone that actually follows Bayern or the Bundesliga, that can give some insight in to what's gone wrong for him?

I mean the massive difference has been losing Lewandowski. Their XG is through the roof as opposed to how many the've scored (nearly 3 a game already!)

They lost Mane to injury so its just putting teams away.

The points they've dropped in league are Monchengladbach home and away (i believe they are a bogey team), Union Berlin away, Dortmund away, Leverkusen away (who are flying under Alonso) and Frankfurt. So its hardly atrocious.

He takes a lot of risks with his defensive tactics, high lines etc bascially have to be brave on the ball (he would adore Romero, hate the others!)

In UCL they've won 8 out of 8.

The Neuer issue didnt help. JN got rid of the goalkeeping coach of more than 10 years and Neuer was fuming,

Salihamadzic then publicly criticized their loss against Leverkusen I think which was odd but he has history.

Bayern have always wanted Tuchel, so its a brave move to do it now. Our talks must have pushed them into action.

Bayern fans are surprised and were definitely not calling for him to leave. 25 league games, 15 wins, 7 draws, 3 losses. 72 goals, 27 conceded. Should they have more yes, definitely but its hardly worrying with 1 point off Dortmund who are also inconsistent.

Please do not get carried away. Please don’t.

Mate he became odds on favorite for the Spurs job less than 10 minutes after being fired

Think Xabi Alonso is slowly making his way up that list.

 

[Led Revolver]

Has Tuchel to Bayern been officially confirmed? He’s still 12/1 to join us on Skybet…

Too late

Yes very good. But very risky, there will be plenty of mistakes so we'd have to be patient.....yes i know....

Fab said he will sign tomorrow or Saturday.

He’s doing very well for sure, even did a job on Nagelsmann the other day, but Perez has had a hard on for Poch for a long time and by all accounts has been courting him for months. I’d be very surprised if he didn’t go. I don’t see Perez going for Alonso yet, maybe after the next manager.
